We already know majority of the mass killings in North America were done by far right.
I disagree with this statement that people perpetually try to slip into social media conversations.

Mass murderers are extremely messed up psychologically. Most of time their politics is incoherent.

I'd like to the stats on whose likely to be a pedophile.
The same people more likely to pimp (underage) girls in this industry that providers ban them on their ads? The same guys with the same hair texture that hang out the the hallways of in-calls trying to recruit girls?

Was McVeigh incoherent? He disliked his own government. Hm!!
I said "most of time".

Even when killers target political people, they often don't make sense.

There have been a total of 6 mass shootings committed by trans people (including this one). Out of 174 recorded mass shootings. These 6 trans shooters are outliers. The grim reality is that hundreds of troubled trans people wish to harm only themselves instead.
The argument I've seen put forward is that 6/174 is a little under 3.5% and that is much higher than most measures of the trans population, therefore transfolk are murderous psychopaths.

I think Reddit is fine for general interest stuff.
People post good advice based on experience.
Sometimes I find a good conversation on local topics.
I'm not talking about politics where the usual keyboard warriors show up.
Everything on Reddit is somehow turned political.

The flip side to that is that women are even a smaller demographic, which just shows that its men that should be denied guns.

I like numbers. Numbers often tell different stories from the common narratives.
Sometimes I ask myself a question about numbers. It might not give me a clear answer, but it might give me a different perspective.

Today, I was thinking the U.S. seems to have a markedly increase in transgender identification in the last decade or two. Is this increase as noticeable in Canada, France and the U.K? Now these weren't random choices. I think these three countries exhibit high levels of social tolerance for different people and different lifestyles.

Not surprising, the tracking of the transgender population is less than scientific. However, articles on the internet would suggest the rate of transgenderism within the U.S. population is much higher than Canada, France and U.K.

The usual suspects will say that tells you nothing. Actually, I think it does. Either the U.S. is experiencing a social phenomenon where people are misreporting they are transgender or people in Canada, France and the U.K. don't feel comfortable reporting they're transgender. Something has to be happening that would cause these differences.
Where are the numbers?
I think you forgot to link to the charts behind this.

I like numbers, too, so if you've found some good stuff here, that would be grate, since as you say, it is very difficult to get them.

There are always people who hear or read something and insist on sharing it with the world everywhere they can.

Thankfully, we don't have members like that. ;)
Its much better just to have debates about personal feelings about the world without facts or outside references.

Valcazar sometimes you have to engage with people like you're in a conversation.

But since I know you are really interested in this subject of counting the transgender, I will post a sharp contrast observed between Canada and the U.S.

Together, they represented 1 in 300 people, or 0.33% of the population aged 15 and older.


Nearly 1% of the nation’s adult population, about 2.3 million Americans, identify as transgender.

Read the comments from posted this reddit. You'll see how sick their members are.
I read some of the comments. What about them is troubling?
Looks like when someone died suddenly he used to blame the vaccines and now that he is gone suddenly, people are pointing out the irony.
You do realize that if one is a pubic figure who took certain controversial positions, those will inevitably be brought up when they die.
The same happened with Charlie Kirk, the stochastic terrorist.

I know there are some crazy discussions on reddit.
I mostly just ignore them.

The other day I was on an innocuous thread about something cultural.
Some crazed person went off on a political diatribe (not Trump related) that had just a small tie-in with the discussion at hand.
Other reddit members jumped into this subthread to either concur or challenge.
It was entirely a waste of time. I read past it to get what I wanted from the topic.

I could gather a couple things from the poster.
1) Probably young based on their perspective.
2) Probably underemployed and had too much time to think about their situation.

Does this sound familiar on other social media?

What in your mind is a stochastic terrorist?
Stochastic terrorism is the public demonization of a person or group through inflammatory, dehumanizing rhetoric that has the potential to incite random individuals to commit acts of violence.
Charlie Kirk, Stephen Miller, Trump, Musk, LibsOfTikTok etc are all stochastic terrorists.

I was banned from some of the Canadian reddits because of my views on the pandemic and restrictions. The reasons they gave me were absurd yet some of the posters made threats towards me and others who disagreed and nada by the mods. My main go to were the sports reddits of my favourite teams and even those members were way off.

Do you have any idea what reddit bans people. It's okay to rejoice death of an anti vaxxer but you get banned if point out that a pro vaxxer died from a vaccine. I don't wish death on those who I disagree with.
